Geez, I’d take that deal regardless of which lizard. There’s some that’re better than others, but fuck, that’s a dream regardless! :)

God, I’ve never wanted to work for Aperture Science more than in this scenario.

Hot take: I’d much rather have Dwight as a friend than Jim. He’s eccentric and he’s the butt of the jokes, but he’s shown to be an incredibly reliable friend. He’s always there to help any time someone asks, he’s knowledgeable about a lot of practical matters and is happy to share that knowledge, he’s enthusiastic about his interests, and he’s loyal to his friends. Jim might have some of those traits, too, but we don’t really see it - his primary personality trait is just being a charismatic jokester.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

I thought it worked well before the first Avengers movie… Each hero had their own movie with no real continuity other than the post-credits scene, and then Avengers - and only Avengers - assumed you’d seen the previous ones. The movies were coming out at a reasonable cadence and there was plenty of time to get up to speed. Then they just went off the rails - interconnected continuity even between individual heroes’ movies and a crazy fast release schedule meant you were either a superfan or you were lost.

I ended up just watching them at a rate of 1-2 a week leading up to Endgame to get caught up, but it was just way too much.

• 5 films -> Avengers over a 4 year period was reasonable.
• 12 more films -> Infinity War over a 6 year period was much less reasonable.
• 3 more -> Endgame in 1 year was just silly.

Just went and looked it up, and there were another 16 films leading up to Doomsday over 5 years. They’re just releasing things faster and faster. Who can (or even wants to) keep up with that?

Muchly.

Oh god that would burn so badly.

Yeah, I could honestly watch 3 hours of Rocket just being Rocket and be perfectly happy with the time spent.

Yeah, if OP enjoyed Guardians 1-2, and then skipped 3, they really missed out.

Assuming you’re serious, which I’m not entirely sure you are, S being above A originally had Japanese origins where the character it represents means ‘Excellent’, and on English lists it typically means ‘Superlative’ (or any similar word starting with S, like Superb or Super). This is not a new thing.

Regardless, this is an S+ tier ragebait shitpost and clearly it’s having its desired effect.

This is the one that both the profile pic and the banner are from!

They should just buy ad spots explaining Roko’s Basilisk in detail when they IPO. “Unfortunately this is out of our hands, now, but you can still make your support known by buying shares now.”

I agree with you, but this also raises an interesting question. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it a consent issue if someone sent the usual “two circles and an oval” ‘dick’ drawing, or an eggplant emoji… Rude and crass, maybe, but not any more of a consent issue than sending any other non-sexual unsolicited pic would be, which suggests that there’s a level of caricature and lack of fidelity in which it’s okay… I wonder where that line is?

Aww, thank you! That’s really nice of you to say!

Cut him some slack, he’s a dog - he’s trying his best.

This is just a statistical error. The average American eats 0 pounds of cheese per day. Cheese Georg, who eats thirty billion eight hundred thirty-four million pounds per day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Obviously it’s Ding Dong Dash.

It’s not a shitpost, but it sure is a shit post.

Probably 6000 messages from Nicole, the fediverse chick.

Actually, let’s order the countries based on their citizen happiness ranking. If being #1 is a point of ego, let’s make that the metric they’re all striving to be on top of.
